Volume 8 of the History of Middle-earth series, The War of the Ring, was originally going to be the title of which part of The Lord of the Rings?
a) The Fellowship of the Ring
b) The Two Towers
c) The Return of the King <~~~ (source Wiki: "Tolkien conceived of The Lord of the Rings as a multiple volume with six sections he called "books" along with extensive appendices. The original publisher made the decision to split the work into three parts. It was also the publisher's decision to place the fifth and sixth books and the appendices into one volume under the title The Return of the King, in reference to Aragorn's assumption of the throne of Gondor. Tolkien indicated he would have preferred The War of the Ring as a title, as it gave away less of the story")

(Apologies for putting the wrong answer as (a). The correct answer should be (c) ~ thanks to Reniannen for spotting it.)
